We expect our employees, suppliers, and business partners to adhere to these laws as well.
  2. Supply Chain Management: We recognize the importance of responsible supply chain management in combating modern slavery. We conduct due diligence on our suppliers to ensure they share our commitment to ethical practices. We strive to work with suppliers who maintain high standards and who provide safe and fair working conditions for their employees.
  3. Supplier Code of Conduct: We have developed a Supplier Code of Conduct that outlines our expectations regarding human rights, labor standards, and ethical business practices. We require our suppliers to acknowledge and comply with this code. Regular audits and assessments are conducted to ensure ongoing adherence to these standards.

We provide training to our employees to help them understand the signs of modern slavery, raise awareness, and encourage reporting of any suspected cases. We maintain open communication channels to foster a supportive environment for reporting concerns.
  5. Reporting and Investigation: We have established mechanisms for reporting any suspected cases of modern slavery, whether within our organization or our supply chains. We take all reports seriously and conduct thorough investigations when necessary. Appropriate actions will be taken, including terminating relationships with individuals or organizations involved in modern slavery.
  6. Continuous Improvement: We are committed to continuously improving our efforts to combat modern slavery. We regularly review our policies, practices, and supplier relationships to identify areas for enhancement. We engage with external stakeholders and industry organizations to stay informed about best practices and industry developments.
